The opposition will support these amendments. They are substantively similar to the amendments the Labor Party moved earlier, although there is some conflict in terms of the right of review. I would just again make the point that I think the minister's justification for opposing these various administrative amendments really doesn't make a lot of sense in the circumstances.

Progress reported.

The TEMPORARY CHAIR (12:45): Order! It being 12.45, the Senate will now move to senators' statements.
